A Store-House of Answers by Mr. S. N. Goenka | Vipassana Research Institute

S.N.Goenka was the disciple of Sayagyi U Ba Khin, the Burmese teacher and authority on Vipassana meditation, and who was the first Accountant General of Burma and an influential leader of the Vipassana movement.

Today, Vipassana courses, in the tradition of Sayagyi U Ba Khin, are held at 341 locations in 94 countries, of which about 202 are permanent Vipassana meditation centres. Goenka was an invited speaker at the Millennium World Peace Summit of Religious and Spiritual Leaders on 29 August 2000 at the General Assembly Hall of the United Nations in New York City.

Goenka was able to bring Vipassana meditation courses into prisons, first in India, and then in other countries. The organisation estimates that as many as 10,000 prisoners, as well as many members of the police and military, have attended the 10-day courses.
